Media notes
NOTES: Two birds at this lek were always singing in medium-height forests on the slopes of a small draw (but no stream) along the upper part of the road; during this recording, the bird was initially 15 meters away but as near as 8-10 meters away and about eye-level in trees downslope from the road (about 5-8 meters above the ground); the bird used three different perches during this recording; initially natural then after playback of itself, in response to which the bird approached and moved all around me, and began singing; it was quite nervous, often flicking one wing; I saw the bird relatively well and it was quite plain-winged (described briefly on tape); the forest here had an open understory but rather dense mid-levels and canopy; partly cloudy, calm to mild breeze, 79¡ F. Response to playback: Approach. Response to playback: Normal song. Other Behaviors: Lek, Advertise. Habitat: Rainforest, Evergreen Forest.
